Oh also be careful when trying to make copies of objects/arrays by simply assigning variables, as it won't work how you expect. For example:
const results = [1, 2]
const posts = result;
posts[0] = 999
console.log(posts); // Logs: [999, 2]
console.log(results); // Logs: [999, 2]
All the assignment does here is create a new variable that points to the exact same object (array). So line 27 effectively doesn't do anything useful; you could just get rid of it and use result
directly.

.map
is designed to create a new array by mapping each value of the old one using the function you provide. Here you're just using it as a way to loop over the array (and then storing the result separately outside of it). Since you aren't creating a new array your code would be clearer if you just used.forEach
(or afor..of
loop), since those just do iteration without any extra fancy stuff.
